New Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1ASB...
Modern suspensions combine a number of moving parts for safe and stable handling. The ball joint is the crucial moving component that ties those parts together. The ball-in-socket joint can wear out and loosen over time. Or, the rubber protective boot can tear, allowing contaminants to seize the joint. Bad ball joints are a common failure point on vehicle inspections because they lead to unsafe driving conditions. Fortunately, they are relatively easy to replace with the right know-how. This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ ball joints on your 2007-14 Chevy Silverado.

that was the best, most to-the-point, matter of fact no BS DIY video I've seen on UA-cam! Bookmarking TRQ! Only suggested adder would be that since this is obviously not showing entire duration, how much time do the projects you video actually take so it can be compared to a shop's quoted estimate (i.e. I'm being quoted 2.2 hours to have just one lower ball joint on my 2011 2500HD changed out)
Excellent detailed demo. The torque specs were very helpful as well.
I watch a lot of these you are spot on ty
I think that truck lived in a salt mine it's whole life. WOW!😯
That’s clean compared to what I owned 😂
Good video man, great teaching
Very useful video was exactly as my 2007 chevy
Important question, CAN this job be done without the ball joint press? Is there a way to just hit it in place? Anything
I used a piece of pipe and a jack
Good work nice
Good video! 👍 👍 👍

Much appreciated
Do those ball joints need to be greased or do they come just ready to install
Depends which you buy. Those wits zits on require greasing. Greasing it at least twice a year mine lasted 10 years
hello , good work! im having trouble with the upper control arm, i cant seem to get it to move up enough to release the upper ball joint( which is free) any pointers? i even loosened the upper control arm bolt/nuts and its still doesn't want to move. thank you scott
Use a floor jack and raise it off the lower ball joint once free then lower the jack off and it should come down off the top ball joint if it's already free.
How long did this take you to do?
No grease fitting?? How about a 2wd version too?
Things came apart wayyy to easy for the amount of rust
You never filled the upper ball joint with grease
God damn GM with their break'em to replace'em parts
that's NOT 2007-2014 Silverado. that's on older model, please correct your title as it will mislead people.
Ok now show me on a completely worst case scenario situation because let’s be realistic
Oh boy that's a mid west truck. 😪
Well I have an 07 that’s why I came here. But that’s not an 07 so…
Yeah, mine is a 11 looks different
